— Diana Brown, How Stuff Works
Slavery is a stain on nearly every nation’s history book. And it’s been abolished by law in 167 countries. Unfortunately, despite these laws, the abhorrent practice still continues today, with 2017 estimates suggesting that more than 40 million people worldwide are victims of some form of modern slavery. Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know hosts Ben Bowlin and Matt Frederick discuss slavery’s ghastly past and grim present, as well as tackle how to prevent it in the episode The Future of Slavery.
